I look forward to having @SteveBarclay @Jeremy_Hunt @RishiSunak join me at 8am tomorrow morning for the ward round @SalisburyNHS so they can appreciate the work we do all weekend long!
Well, the ‘lazy consultants are responsible’ narrative is well and truly back! ’Other patients simply need the nod from a senior doctor to go home’. So consultants are responsible for ‘thousands stuck’ On a Sunday night. What utter bollocks this is. 1/3

Sunak had a chance to act like an adult. Govern like a grown-up. He didn't take it. All the mewling know-nothing infants back in senior positions.

Excellent from @ERunswickBMA "Weve got a lack of people coming in at the bottom, and weve also got a crisis in retention, particularly for senior doctors impacted by pension taxation, and thats on top of the repeated pay cuts" #FixTheFinanceAct #CPIdisconnect #Taxunregistered

"This is sometimes said by people who have no understanding of health at all... and when they say it, it's usually because they want to make a political point." Prof. Chris Whitty responds to concerns that the NHS is prioritising Covid other serious health issues such as cancer.

You're right @Jeremy_Hunt, it won't Must look at retention as well as recruitment- & a *major* driver out of the profession (& to LTFT) is punitive pension taxation. This *must* be adressed with a tax unregistered scheme, exactly like you have done for the judges RT if agree
Replying to @Jeremy_Hunt
BUT, as someone who tried & failed to get 5000 more GPs into the system, I don’t think this package will turn the tide. We got 000s more graduates into GP surgeries, but we didn't make progress because experienced GPs were retiring/going part time faster than new trainees arrived
